THE EVENING STA Artists and Public Have |Two Artists Great Season in Music|/To Be Heard Martinelli-Lauritano Recital to Open' Im- pressive Series of Events Which Will Display Highest Talents. By Alice Eversman. HE first concert of the official music season will take place on Friday of the coming week, when Martinelli, the long-popular tenor of the Met- ropolitan Opera, will appear in recital at Constitution Hall with & new- comer to this city, Inez Lauritano, violinst. Following this important inaugural concert will be a long list of world-renowned artists, men and women ‘who have won and retained the admiration of every musical country with their gll of talent and individuality. The«- nce, which in the last few years has attained a place of ever-growing sonsequence as & specialized inter- preter of music, will also be repre- pented by groups whose original ideas have revolutionized the work of this particular fleld. _ Greater than the glamour which is | sttached to these names and more in- | feresting than the privilege of hearing | sgain the masterpleces which form their programs is the opportunity to njoy the different angles of approach, which is each artist's unique develop- wment. Although the general idea of the eontent of each great work is ac- septed by every artist worthy of the | wame, they are able, by reason- of their individual mental and emotional ettributes, to enlarge or clarify the fundamental conception in a way to | increase the listeners' understanding | and pleasure. ‘This, after all, is the principal rea- | son of an artist’s success. If the fact | that a musician had attained an| artist's stature were to mean that he | did nothing more than reproduce exastly what had been done before, #here would be no advantage in sup- such a season as has been anned for this city by the leading there seems little likelihood of their performance.” Again, consider the character of the talent of Bauer, of the deeply studious Hofmann, of the original Iturbi, or the brilliant Serkin and Horowitz, and that of great women Next Friday Program to Be Given by Martinelli and Miss Lauritano.

Many critics re- gard the latter Beethoven concertos |as works just as thought-provoking and as powerful as many of his sym- | phonles. IN ADDITION to these works and to the already-named “Choral PFantasy,” Dr. Kindler plans several other Beethoven presentations for the season. The “Second Symphony,” which has not been included before in the regular season concerts of the orchestra, and the beloved “Fifth” will both be in the orchestra’s reper~ toire this year. Dr. Kindler will also draw from the shorter works, pare ticularly the dramatic overtures. Anticipating a wide following for the concerts of this sixth season, the National Symphony Orchestra Asso- ciation opened its box office in the Julius Garfinckel & Co. store last week for the Fall season ticket sale. Advance reservations ordered at the time the box office opend were far greater in number than in any pre- vious season and pointed to s marked increase in interest since last year, C. C.

As it was given in the early afternoon many who otherwise would have seen it were unable to attend. ‘Therefore, at this first evening per- formance by this ballet company here 1t has been decided to repeat the prize- winning anti-war ballet, “The Green ‘Table.” The new ballet for this program is to be “Johann 8trauss, Tonight,” which is comic in general design and has, as musical inspiration, the melo- dies of the great Viennese waltz king. ‘The program also is to include “Ballade,” a slightly acid satire on intrigue in French court life of the early days, which is beautifully cos- tumed, and “Impressions of a Big City,” a modern sophisticated version of life in a metropolis, with the much- discussed music, “Symphonie Trans- Atlantique,” by Alexander Tansman, a8 background for the choreographic pattern. Kurt Jooss, whose name is Danish and is correctly pronounced as “Yooss,” with the long “0,” created a | sensation with the unique ballet, “The Green Table,” in which he broke com- pletely from. the old traditions and | dispiayed original genius that won for | him the much-coveted Prix de Paris | at & dance congress there in 1932. The | unusual conflicting scenes of diplo- mats and war, with the dramatic build-up to climax, has taken this| ballet beyond the mere dance enter- | tainment fleld into the fringe of highly | dramatic art. | Reservations for the Washington | program can be made at the box office, National Theater, or by writing the manager for the local event, William A.
